For two years now I've predicted that the IMF would accept China into their SDR basket of currencies, and today we just learned that indeed they have. Bravo! So what's that about? The IMF uses a reserve basket of currencies made up of the Pound, the Euro, the Dollar and the Yen. China believes it should be in that basket since it is the second biggest economy now. So today it became official and they're "in". You should read our Newsletters or join the Insiders Club to see what all that will mean.

Good morning all, welcome back from your Holiday. I trust that you were smart enough not to go back for seconds (Like I did) so that you didn't have the dreaded "after dinner" wobbles. I sure did, and enjoyed every minute of it. How can you not go in for "just a little more?" I haven't the will power. The delicious aroma's, the wonderful tastes always trump my better sense. Maybe it's a good thing that Thanksgiving only happens once a year, or I'd explode.

One might have thought that with the downing of the Russian Fighter by a NATO nation, that the market would react pretty badly. But no, the market put in a green day yesterday. Now why would that be? Simple, as the Middle East escalates into outright war, everyone is looking for the central banks to flood the globe with even more funny money. It is no secret that Draghi's been jawboning about "doing what it takes" to create some illusion of growth in Europe and doing what it takes means cutting rates to below zero and printing even more than the 85 billion a month he's doing now.

Last night it was announced that Turkish F-16's ( bought from the US of course) shot down a Russian fighter jet in Syrian airspace. Turkey is a NATO member, which pretty much means they're allied with us, the US. As you can imagine Mr. Putin is none too pleased and called it a "stab in the back". This is a horrible escalation of tensions in the area, folks, one that could lead to some really serious confrontations. Basically Putin said it would appear that Turkey is buying the ISIS oil and funding ISIS. Could it be that Russia's latest offensive of blowing up over 100 ISIS oil trucks heading to Turkey was the real reason??? Stay tuned this is bad.

Good morning everyone, welcome back from the weekend, and to a very shortened Holiday week. I trust your weekend was wonderful as you made your Holiday arrangements?

Here in Sunny Florida, it wasn't very sunny. We had a ton of rain Saturday evening and into Sunday morning which put a damper on our customary bike ride. Oh well, we certainly found enough to keep us busy.

After all the madness that's played out in Paris and other towns in France, this morning we learn that Islamic crazies took over a Luxury hotel in Mali, and grabbed 170 hostages. That's prompted a quick response of SWAT and military to come to the rescue..

This sort of thing IS going to end up here on our shores, and what is Obama planning to do? He's coming after your guns. What about that whack job socialist Sanders? Coming after your guns. How about Queen "we were broke" Hillary? She's coming after your guns.

Trumps is killing in the polls because he's not afraid to say it like it is. He knows that an unarmed population is actually just a target range for terrorists. Keep an open mind folks.

Hello everyone, welcome to Friday... a day that couldn't get here quick enough.

It's been a big week in market land. Even yesterday; they didn't have the oomph to keep things going, but they didn't let it fall either. We put in a flat day.

Overnight, Draghi of ECB fame hinted once again at doing all he has to do to fight deflation. That is code speak for "more free money comin at ya!" So markets liked that. In fact they liked it so much, that in the nation of Mali, Islamic crazies took 170 people hostage at an upscale hotel and the response was a yawn by markets.

Everyone knows by now that some form of terrorist event took place in Paris, and while the conspiracy theorists suggest it was nothing but a false flag, I am in a different camp. I do think that they've "used" it as in the old adage of "never let a crisis go to waste" but indeed people were killed. And what was the result? Trumps ratings spiked once again as he said all the right things concerning gun control. "the results would have been much different of those people had guns" was one of his statements.

How right he is.

I invite you to read the Last Financial Intelligence Report we posted, it highlights the gun situation.
